The church with its pointed and high spire in the middle of the village forms a striking point and can be seen from afar. The panorama of the village with the church is particularly beautiful to behold from the castle grounds.

You're looking towards the Kellerwald here. However, the radio tower you see is not on the Dünsberg (which would be about 40-50km to the southwest and is definitely not visible from this point due to the elevation of the Burgwald), instead you can see the radio tower on the mountain "Hohes Lohr".
